serious and comprehensive effort yet made for tho a

the week from November II to November 10 he will
give a series OF FIVE concerts devoted wholly TO tho
compositions Of native Americans, and embracing
nearly all forms of composition from song TO sym

ctals and chamber concerts. The scheme oners the
finest opportunity that our music lovers have ever

EDGERTON SHOULD 90.

THE TRIBUNE remarked some little time
ago that the best service Mr.. Edgerton could
render 10 the cause of Civil Service Reform
would be to resign his place in the Civil
Service Commission. His report upon the
Chicago Custom House is the strongest possible
Endorsement this recommendation could have
received. It shows not only that he Is more
in sympathy with the aspirations and the
animosities of the Administration than with
the spirit of the law, but that he has no con-
ception of the proprieties OF his position
His attitude in unfolding Collector Seeberger
in refusing to give his reasons for the removal
of clerk is indeed singular one for an
officer who is by law one Of the special guar
dams OF the reform, and who, it would be
supposed, would be anxious to do all IN MS
power to extend and strengthen it, instead OIL
cndeavoring, as he seems to be doing, to cra'np
and hinder it. The Secberger system would
remove the only protection Government
clerk has, and probably the only protection
he can have, against wanton rcmoval-hls
chiefs fear of public sentiment. And MIR.
Edgerton justifes Mr.. Seeberger!
His sncers at the Civil Service Reform
Leagues are less important, perhaps, but they
arc more offensive. His illusions to these
associations are utterly out Of place in pub
lie document. They show that whatever Mr..
Edgerton may be as a man, as Government
official he is without dignity. He does not
seem to know that rudcness and personalities
are nowhere so out of place as in public
document. Mr.. Edgcrton ought to 60, though
he probably won't He cannot remain where

THE TRIBUNE has called attention to the sweep
ing way in which the population OF Tennessee
and Mississippi CT all ages and sexes is being
drafted into the Indian service. 1t is a standing
joke on the agencies that Lamar and Atkins are
removing so many Democratic voters from these
States that the Republ cans will carry both unless
this swarm of officials are furnished with trans
portation home on election day. The dispatch
from Washington the other dav that Atkins had
removed the chief Of one division in his Depart
mcnt after thirty years Of experience and honor
able service to make room for green hand from
Tennessee naturally therefore caused no surprise.
The fact is that the Indian Office In Washington
will soon bc as badly demoralized as the service
has been on the reservations. The system begun
by this Reform Administration OF appointing
subordinates from Washington without consulting
their supcrors on the agencies has caused endless
ealousies and has overthrown all discipline. The
force was reasonably efficient three years ago, and
now it Is demoralized, and that too. just at the
critical time in the history of the Indian, when
preparations are going on for the momentous
change in his condition, which the new
Land Division Law will effect. One
Of the first acts OF Congress should be an
inquiry into the character Of the men and women
who are now administering Indian affairs. Let
tho country know who they are, where they came
from and what they had been doing before Atkins
and Upshaw discovered them.
While the Kentucky Democrats resolve against
the tariff. and the Pennsylvania Democrats against
the internal revenue, the surf lus continues to
accumulate.

speech in Ireland arc stirring various
organi cations of Engishmen to pro

the Trades Unions Congress which
has just met al Swansea. Heretofore this
body has avoided political discussion, and
